Mother's Day, 2011

Waking skies - at sunrise
Every sunset too
Seems to be - bringing me
Memories of you*

Here and there - every where
Scenes that we once knew
And they all - just recall
Memories of you

You must know, I can't forget those happy yesteryears
That have left a rosary of tears

Your face beams - in my dreams
No matter what I do
And everything - seems to bring
Memories of you.
Thanks, mom!

*and special thanks fo Andy Razaf and Eubie Blake for penning this wonderful sentiment.
